Now put it in the context of Megan’s mixed race, highlighted by her mother being in some of the photos, it was an incredibly bad choice of photo and I struggle to see how Danny, an experienced media profesional, could have thought otherwise.

I’m somewhat conflicted but after some considerable thought I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, he’s paid a high price in losing his job and hopefully other celebrities will think twice before posting “funny” stuff.

Sadly his initial apology where he tried to make light of it is indicative of the modern world where everything is demanded now, now, now…his later apologies seem more heart felt, though that could be me with my slightly rose tinted specs on.

Don't see the need to make any kind of joke about a royal baby, or any new born for that matter, race related or not
